The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of polyamines, any organic compound containing two or more amino groups. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of polyamines, any organic compound containing two or more amino groups. The chemical reactions and pathways involving polyamines, any organic compound containing two or more amino groups. The chemical reactions and pathways involving putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane; putrescine can be formed by decarboxylation of ornithine and is the metabolic precursor of spermidine and spermine. The chemical reactions and pathways involving compounds derived from amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. The modification of polyamines by addition of acetyl groups. The chemical reactions and pathways involving spermine, a polybasic amine found in human sperm, in ribosomes and in some viruses, which is involved in nucleic acid packaging. Synthesis is regulated by ornithine decarboxylase which plays a key role in control of DNA replication. The chemical reactions and pathways involving spermidine, N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-diaminobutane. The chemical reactions and pathways involving any organic compound that is weakly basic in character and contains an amino or a substituted amino group, as carried out by individual cells. Amines are called primary, secondary, or tertiary according to whether one, two, or three carbon atoms are attached to the nitrogen atom. The chemical reactions and pathways occurring at the level of individual cells involving any of a group of naturally occurring, biologically active amines, such as norepinephrine, histamine, and serotonin, many of which act as neurotransmitters.
